SciFi/Fantasy Unit Graphics

I've been doodling a bit, and I ended up having a Klingon Bird of Prey.
Qapla'!

Indeed! Or more correctly; Star Fleet Battles, a tabletop game from 1979, made as a tactical combat game to correspond to the Original Series. Kirk era! The Starfleet Command 1 & 2 were loosely based on that tabletop game. Because Star Trek were in its infancy and not many races existed they invented a whole bunch which never returned. The Hydrans, the Lyrans (probably became Caitians), the Miran (Kzinti in Star Fleet Battles, were renamed in Starfleet Command 2 due to copyright, but basically the same race). They were also the source of the first fleets of Orion and Gorn fleet lists.

I believe the Hydrans only exist in the Starfleet Battles/Command game universes, during the TOS and Kirk movie era. They were never mentioned in any of the TV-shows or movies. A wasted opportunity; I feel the Hydrans are among the most interesting Star Trek races ever made. They are one of the few races to purely exist in the expanded universe lore.
 
That was an awesome game.
I remember taking on 3 klingon dreadnoughts with a tiny federation corvette just to see how long i'd last.
 
Yes, it was rather glorious! I still got Starfleet Command installed, and I get it to run on Win10!

I'll just leave this small fleet of Hydran Kingdom ships here.

From the German manual of Starfleet Command, ship no. 2 could be a frigate of the Hunter Class, ship no. 4 a destroyer of the Lancer Class, ship no. 6 a battlecruiser of the Overlord Class and ship no. 9 a Cruiser of the Ranger Class.
 
Just wondering if anyone wishes to source me a fireball graphic? It can be large as you wish. :)
 
Spending time on a The Elder Scroll project, here are some unit adapted from fantastic existing stuff
TESUnitsSample.png

1.Mamoth, adapted from my previous work on it few years ago, gifting him more teeth to match TES bestiary.
2.Giant, adapted from Tanelorn's cyclop, gifting him a second eye and giving him few further pixels to his height.
3. Snow Bear. Not satisfied with that. Decolored catfish's. Shall work on it again later.
4. Smilodon. I feel ashamed adding my initials there. Just gave him a long tooth. What are policies about that by the way please ? I mean, with minor changes and adding or not credit* ?
5. Snow Smilodon. Decolored it, recreated a tabby pattern, gave him his tooth. Kinda like it.


*I mean, I feel a minor change shall make the unit keep its originals' credit only !
Howether, what if this minor change screw it ? I feel like it would be then kinda insulting the artists when adding initials would alert changes were made ?
How are you doing all ?

Don't worry. I ripped them from Dominions in the first place. Mod to your heart's content.
 
Second group of units
TESUnitsSample.png

1. A Wolf, simply resized from web. Didn't find a "classic" one. Could be better.
2. Dragon, from fantasy paint in black and grew few spikes
3. Return of the Snow Bear ! Decoloration better ajusted, ajusted shaded part.
4. A Herd, no work appart from a little on the bambi

With this and what's already done by others, i guess that's enough for the bestiary.
Next is going for humanoids !
 
I'd recommend using the dragon from the LOTR units by fairline...It looks impressive.
That small dragon could be a dragonling from Daggerfall...:)
